For the first time, three international BBoy events are collaborating to bring to the Philippines, the biggest and craziest event ever, to inspire the Pinoy Bboys and give them an opportunity to battle in countries abroad.
On March 29, 2014 at around 10am at the SM MAll of Asia Music Hall, there will be three big events on this date. Challenge Cup X Breakin' the Law Asia X R16 Philippines.
*Note: There is a second earlier date of March 28 to be held at the BP Rooftop between 4pm - 10pm.
R16 Philippines National Championships is the most prestigious and important B-Boy (break dance) tournament in the Philippines.
The winners, become crowned as the R16 Philippines National Champions, and move on (all expenses paid) to represent the entire country at the R16 South East Asia Regional Championship Finals in Singapore.
Should they win R16 South East Asia, they then move on to the R16 World Championship Finals in Seoul, Korea (July 4-6, 2014).
The winner of the crew battle represents Philippines at the R16 South East Asia Finals in Singapore
The winner of solo battle goes to Challenge Cup Finals in Taiwan AND R16 South East Asia Finals in Singapore!
The winner of 2 on 2 battle goes to Breakin the Law Finals in USA
Breakin' The Law Asia 2 on 2 Bboy battle will take place on March 28-29, 2014 as part of the "Project P-Noise" Festival, which will run simultaneously with R16 Philippines National Championships and Challenge Cup Philippines.
The winners will win an all expense paid trip to battle in the USA at the Breakin' The Law world finals!
B-Boys from Asia are welcome to participate in this battle but are not allowed to enter R16 Philippines OR Challenge Cup Philippines.
The organizers have received enough sponsorship to send the winner of Challenge Cup Philippines Solo battle to Singapore for the R16 South East Asia Solo Regional Finals! The winner of Challenge Cup x R16 Philippines Solo Battle will go to both Taiwan AND Singapore to represent the Philippines!
R16 Korea is an annual international B-Boy tournament and urban arts cultural festival sponsored primarily by the Korea Tourism Organization and the South Korean Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism. The competition is participated by 50 different nations having their own local champions and going thru regional process before going to Korea for the World Finals.
There will be a festival that features graffiti artists, street wear designers, musical performers and dancers who specialize in hip-hop, popping, locking and other urban arts subcultures from South Korea and other countries.
Based on a theme of "Respect” (which is what the "R" in R-16 refers to), the tournament and festivals were first held in 2007 in the city of Seoul.
R16 2013 successfully staged “R16” as the biggest professional Bboy competition sanctioned by the Korea Tourism Government.
These efforts produced a Bboy Team Philippines that represented the country in the Southeast Asia Regionals in Singapore wherein they landed Silver. The same team went on to become Champions in Challenge Cup (a Southeast Asian Bboy competition) held in Taiwan last November 2013.
With a mission to bring B-Boy and Hip Hop culture to a professional level where it’s no longer about entertainment, but more about glory, honor and respect, the R16 Philippines National Championships will soon make the Filipinos proud again, win or lose!
Good luck to all the competing spirits!!!
